The prizegiving will take place on 20 August at Radio City Music Hall in New York, where hometown favourite Jennifer Lopez will receive the prestigious Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

The accolade recognises artists who have had a huge impact on the music industry, with J.Lo following in the footsteps of fellow superstars like Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Rihanna, Britney Spears, and last year's (17) honouree, Pink.
